Tilda with Straw Hat!

Good Evening!
You may have noticed that I have changed my Blog Layout yet again lol I simply wasn't happy enough with the previous one but I LOVE the new one, so don't worry I won't go changing it around again anytime soon! lol

I found myself experimenting a bit today with the way I colour Tilda's hair and thought I would share the result with you! I think I prefer this way of making it look like it is 'shining'. Do you prefer this way or the previous way I coloured her?
I have to admit this card is one of my faves that I have made for a while :)
